Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Nestled along Tasmania’s rugged coastline, Sea Elephant is a small but forward-thinking community of 1,341 residents. While official figures show no registered electric vehicles (EVs) as of 2023, the suburb’s stunning natural environment and increasing national EV adoption – which saw a 120% year-on-year surge across Australia in 2023 – suggest change is on the horizon. For eco-conscious locals considering the switch to electric cars, here’s your complete guide to current and future charging infrastructure.
Public EV charging stations remain limited in Sea Elephant itself, with no confirmed facilities within a 20km radius. This makes home charging solutions particularly important for early adopters. When travelling beyond the region, drivers can access Tasmania’s growing network of fast chargers from providers like Chargefox and Evie Networks, which typically offer CCS2 and Type 2 connectors – compatible with popular models like the Kia EV9 (443km range) and MG MG4 (405km range). The Porsche Panamera PHEV and Audi Q5 PHEV also use these standards, ensuring future-ready compatibility.
For Sea Elephant residents, solar-powered home charging presents an exciting opportunity. The area boasts exceptional solar resources with 14.50MJ/m²/day irradiation – equivalent to about 4.03kW/m²/day. A typical 6kW solar system could generate 24kWh daily, enough to fully charge an MG MG4’s 64kWh battery every 2-3 days. Pairing solar panels with a 7.2kW home charger (like those compatible with the Audi Q5 PHEV) could deliver 50km of range per charging hour while slashing energy costs. With electricity prices averaging 30c/kWh in Tasmania, solar-charged driving could save $1,500 annually compared to petrol vehicles.
While public infrastructure develops, locals exploring electric cars like the $39,990 MG MG4 or luxury options like the $268,700 Porsche Panamera PHEV should prioritise home charging solutions. Installing a solar-compatible electric vehicle home charger not only future-proofs your property but aligns with Sea Elephant’s environmental values.
